Satterwhite was released by the Angels on Monday.
The right-hander signed a minor league deal with the organization back in February, but he requested his release in order to sign overseas with the Hanshin Tigers of the Nippon Professional Baseball League (Japan). Satterwhite, 29, amassed a 1.80 ERA across 18 Triple-A appearances on the season, and he'll likely look to return stateside at some point in the future.
